What Is the Riftcrystal Mining Permit?

The Riftcrystal Mining Permit is NTE's take on the classic monthly pass. You buy it once, and for the next 30 days, you log in daily to claim a set amount of Annulith — the premium currency used for pulling characters and weapons. It's a low-risk way to build up your pull fund over time, especially if you're planning for a specific banner.

What makes it interesting is the Fons income. Fons is the standard in-game currency, and having a steady stream can help with leveling, upgrading gear, and other progression costs. The pass essentially gives you a daily allowance that covers both your gacha ambitions and your day-to-day needs.

Price and Value Breakdown

The exact price of the Riftcrystal Mining Permit isn't listed in the official materials we have. However, based on typical gacha pricing, it usually sits in the budget-friendly range — often around $5 or the regional equivalent. If you're comparing it to direct top-ups, the monthly pass almost always offers better value per unit of currency.

To figure out if it's worth it, you need to calculate the total Annulith you'd get over 30 days. Multiply the daily amount by 30, then add any bonus Fons. Compare that to what you'd get from a one-time purchase of the same price. If the pass gives you more, it's a no-brainer for anyone planning to spend.

How to Buy and Claim

Purchasing the pass is straightforward: head to the in-game shop, find the Riftcrystal Mining Permit, and complete the transaction. Once purchased, the 30-day timer starts immediately. You'll need to log in each day to claim your rewards — they don't accumulate automatically, so missing a day means losing out on that day's Annulith and Fons.

Make sure you claim from the correct menu. The pass usually has its own tab or icon, separate from regular mail. If you're unsure, check the shop or the events page for the permit's status.

Stacking Rules and Timing

One common question is whether you can stack multiple permits. Based on the information we have, the stacking rules are not explicitly stated in official materials. In many gacha games, you can't stack the same pass — buying another one while one is active just extends the duration. But NTE might handle it differently, so it's best to test or wait for official clarification.

If you're planning to buy the pass, consider timing it around a banner you're interested in. For example, if you know a character you want is coming in a few weeks, starting the pass a bit early ensures you have a stockpile of Annulith ready when the banner drops.

Should You Buy It?

For F2P players, the monthly pass is a gray area — it's technically a purchase, but it's often seen as the first step into spending. If you're strictly free-to-play, you can still get by without it, but the pass accelerates your progress significantly. For low-spenders, it's almost always worth it, provided you log in daily.

If you're on the fence, think about your pull plans. Check out our Neverness to Everness banner schedule to see what's coming. If there's a character you really want, the pass can be the difference between hitting pity and missing out.

Final Thoughts

The Riftcrystal Mining Permit is a solid investment for anyone who plays NTE regularly. It's cheap, gives you a steady income of Annulith and Fons, and helps you stay on top of your gacha budget. Just remember to claim daily and plan your purchase around your banner goals.
